Belly buttons!

Ok, so I have a weird kinda phobia of belly buttons! Specifically touching my belly button (I'm odd, I know!!!) But I just wondered what the chances of my belly button popping were (ie. Becoming an outtie). Does it happen to everyone? Is there a way to know if mine will (it's quite deep)? And what does it feel like if it does pop (does it hurt? Do you notice it much?).Sorry to be weird, but it's been bugging me a while and I just need to know.

I'm not sure there's a general answer for this one i can only tell you that before i was pg i had a very deep 'inny' and i'm now due on fri and have a very prominent 'outie'. It started poking out by about 28weeks i guess and has just got progressively more 'out'-lol!! I must admit it does feel weird as the inside of my belly button had not experienced much tactile stimulation up until now and it's quite sensitive but it doesn't hurt at all!This definitely does not happen to everyone, in fact my friend is very jealous as she wanted it to with both her pregnancies but no such luck for her (weird!)I hope your phobia doesn't worry you too much, nobody really needs to touch your belly button, especially if you let them know how you feel about it. The only time it might be necessary is during your next scan.xXx

I've always had an innie, and although it has become very shallow it hasn't popped out so it is different for anyone No one has really touched my bellybutton all throughout my pregnancy, only myself after my 20 week scan as I had to clean out the ultrasound gel (sonographer got it EVERYWHERE!)Hope it doesn't bother you too much A, 39+4 xx

My belly button never popped out with my first pregnancy (in which i gained 19lbs in....) but it has half popped out with this one which looks super strange as its the right side, as opposed to top or bottom which i dont think would look as bad. I am yet to gain any weight this time so i think that has something to do with it - oh and i am 35 weeks - EeeK!!

Mine was very much an innie and now at 38 weeks it couldn't be more out if it tried!!! It feels weird but I don't mind as long as I go back to being an innie but it's fun freaking people out with my freaky belly button. I keep telling people go onnnnn touch it hehehe!!!! It's pretty gross though!!!

I usually have a deep innie and it started coming in and out from about 30 weeks and now at 36+3 it's a definate outie. I find it quite freaky in a funny way and it just makes me chuckle. It's not sensitive and if I'm wearing trousers and a top you can't tell. I actually quite like playing with it - it's like a new toy!!
